Sistedes Library Manager v2025-09

2025-09 release, used to produce the proceedings of Sistedes 2025 (JISBD, JCIS, PROLE).

Changelog:

• Update the "init" command to handle the new titles of the columns of EasyChair dumps (the casing has changed).
• Improve the parsing of EasyChair dumps, since empty cells may have mixed types (String vs Double), causing ClassCastExceptions.
• Consider deleted papers (which now have a dedicated column in EasyChair dumps).
• Add logic to explicitly specify the types of submissions (which now must be declared on command execution).
• Delete heuristic based on the number of pages to detect the type of submission.
• Update the connection backend to use the new /api/security/csrf endpoint.
• Add scripts endpoint.
• Add listings to detect inconsistent ORCIDs.
• Add options to call curation tasks on authors' sync and edition publication.
• Add curate-authors and discard-uuids commands.
• Remove most of the forced modes.
• Remove deprecated commands.
• Change the saving infrastructure to allow fine-grained saving operations. This allows better management of failures, forced interruptions, and resuming the sync and publication process.
• Update JTidy library.
• Migrate from Markdown4J to CommonMark.
• Migrate from the old Java time API (based on Date) to the new Java time (using LocalDate).
• Update documentation.
• Other minor bugfixes and improvements.
